Anyone for a Cuppa!!!

Anyone for a Cuppa!!

I thought I would bob in and post a picture of my latest miniature bear, so enjoyed creating this little cutie. I am always on the look out for interesting bits and pieces for the bears and when I came across this little cup and saucer I knew exactly who was going to sit inside it. I already had some black and white mini bear fur that was waiting to be cut out, once the little guy was finished, I went around some craft shops until I came across the right size of matching ribbons for around his neck and also to decorate his little saucer with. I named him Cup-O-Ty and I have listed him withEbaythis week hope you can take a peep, there are lots of pictures on his auction.

I do have another two cup and saucer bears in the pipeline, but I have the Leeds bear fair coming up in a few weeks and in the process of a few vintage style bears for this, I managed to find some vintage velvet and vintage style mohair, will be having my first go at wobble neck joints which should be fun.
